WYD 2011 Madrid

This week there will be no posts here at T&P. At home, we are preparing for Pope Benedict’s arrival in Madrid for the WYD 2011.

More than 1 million and a half are to arrive this week to celebrate this great event for all the Catholics. There are people from India, Yemen, Ethiopia, Poland, USA, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy, Portugal, Chile, Mexico, etc, etc. The organization has even scheduled events regarding religious persecution with both a photo-exhibit and some speeches by people who have suffered persecution.

Thanks!! Well, there have been some problems today with some guys who were demonstrating against the WYD (you know, they are against the “public funding” of the event, when the event has no public funding, but of course, Catholics are not well considered by some lefty press here… :lol:

They even tried to expell the pilgrims from the Puerta del Sol because “it was theirs” (the demonstration has been authorised… but I don’t think that gives them the right to consider it their own… :P ).

Anyway, the Pope is arriving tomorrow and I’m going to see the photo exhibit about persecuted Catholics tomorrow.
